SOS Experiencing Rapid Growth With Its Online Backup Technology

LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
SOS Online Backup, a global leader in online backup technology, saw rapid
expansion in the sales and integration of its online and local data
backup solution during the past year. While worldwide sales of data
protection and security software are projected to remain flat during 2009,
internet related services are now so ingrained in the daily lives of
businesses and consumers that they will hold up relatively well compared
to other areas of the economy, according to the January 2009 IBIS World
Recession Briefing.

In 2008, SOS Online Backup experienced a four-fold increase in global
sales, and expanded distribution through more than 300 resellers. In
addition, the company announced the integration of its award-winning
online backup technology in two of the leading security and data
protection software suites -- Webroot Internet Security Essentials and
Bitdefender Total Security 2009. SOS Online Backup received the PC
Magazine Editors' Choice Award and has been the recipient of this award
since 2006. Review can be read here:

"The momentum in the online backup market continues unabated," said Ken
Shaw, Chief Technology Officer of SOS Online Backup. "Despite the global
economic crisis and vendors dropping out of the market, we see
opportunities expanding around securing and protecting valuable personal
and business information. Online backup is our only focus and our
customers see us as an absolutely critical technology to serving their
needs and protecting their data."

The SOS Universal Backup System(TM) provides features such as:

-- Online backup -- best-in-class online backup supported by SOS's global
datagrid;

-- Local backup -- SOS comes with a fully integrated local backup
solution, allowing users to back up an entire computer, or an entire
network to any local medium (external disk etc);

-- Physical media upload -- "seed" the remote backup by sending encrypted
data on a DVD and avoid sending large amounts of data over the wire or
have SOS send a drive to you;

-- LiveProtect(TM) -- backup as soon as a change is detected -- SOS
bundles free integrated Continuous Data Protection;

-- Enterprise compression and transfer systems -- SOS backs up new and
changed files only; significantly reducing backup and performance
degradation. SOS also bundles built-in open file backup, and resumable
transfer;
